7 Ways to Win a $50 eGift Card From Sephora! (Ends Monday)

Hey, you need anything from Sephora?? Tabs is heading down there this morning on his bike, and he says he can bring you something back. Let me know. I’ll text him your order. 🙂

Meanwhile…

Good morning! I hope you slept well and had a great night.

So, that movie last night, Riddick, turned out to be better than I thought. It was actually pretty good, but yes, I am a sci-fi nerd, so the bar, ya know, isn’t set very high.

Amidst all the carnage in the movie — and there is carnage; it’s a Vin Diesel flick, after all — there’s even something cute, but I won’t say more. I don’t want to spoil it for you, and you’ll know what I’m talking about if you see it.

Now let’s get this show on the road, shall we? It’s giveaway time, and you could win a $50 e-gift card to spend on anything you want at Sephora.

Wooo giveaway!! Thanks Karen and Tabs! My favorite rom com movie star is probably Drew Barrymore. Love me some Drew! And I have yet to try her adorable Flower makeup line- the Walmart by me does not carry it yet, very strange! Best meal had to be the avocado veggie sandwich I had today at the Roast & Toast Cafe in Petoskey, MI. Today I am feeling… resilient! It’s been a tough couple of days, but I am trying to power through and end up triumphant over life’s little trials and tribulations!

Easy! Most precious keepsake: my Me-Maw, who passed a few years ago, left me her original engagement and wedding rings from my Pap-Pap. The are incredibly dainty, with miniscule diamond chips, which was what they could afford when they were first married. Later on, Pap-Pap replaced the rings with something more substantial, but Me-Maw wouldn’t stop wearing the originals (she wore both). Now, I wear that set on my right hand every day.

What’s the most precious keepsake you own?
probably the necklace my mom gave me the summer before i was a senior in high school. I’m now in my second year of college and still wear it every single day!

Next week we’re leaving for a business trip to Canada. We”ll be there for two weeks and I’m pretty excited about it. But the most exciting part is the fact that we’re stopping in NYC on the way home!! OMG, I can hardly wait! We’re planning a visit to the Hayden Planetarium, at the American Museum of Natural History Who knows, maybe we get lucky enough to see Neil deGrasse Tyson… Just the possibility of that encounter gives me an adrenaline rush he he :). Another amazing opportunity will be seeing Van Gogh’s The Starry Night at MOMA… Overall, a pretty exciting couple of weeks for us.

I love the way they do makeup on Once Upon a Time (sorry, couldn’t think of a movie). The actresses’s eyes always look beautiful and natural, except the Evil Queen, who always has something outrageous going on.

i’m really loving zoya’s neve nail polish. its like midnight blue satin on my fingers. my favorite palette of all time is probably my tarina tarantino emerald pretty palette or the urban decay vice palette. i like palettes that have a large variety of eyeshadows that i can create any look i want with and dont have to bring a second or third palette (though i usually still do)

Hmmm favorite palette… Gotta say, I don’t own that much makeup to choose from but I suppose my Naked 2 palette is the winner. And that’s mostly because you can’t beat the price I purchased it at! Oh and it’s just a really nice palette to own.

My most precious keepsake is a twisty piece of driftwood I found in Martindale, Texas. In the very center there is a perfect spherical crevice and I put a very large iridescent marble in it. I can hardly describe how truly beautiful it is!

I just don’t get romcoms. For whatever reason, I can’t think of any that I’ve enjoyed or found entertaining. It’s a bummer, because that’s mostly what my friends want to go see. Last year, I found out that all my female colleagues were having ladies’ romcom movie nights and not inviting me! 🙁

Howdy! My name is Sherry and I am a Sephora addict ( when my budget allows) When I go in the heaven that is their store, my wishlist gets longer and longer * sigh. So yeppers this would be a dream come true 😉

Christina Aquilera’s make-up in Burlesque is incredible! I don’t need to invent a word to express how I feel right now, it already exists…hungover!! Have been pining over the Naked palettes, but currently obsessing over my Stila In The Light palette. x x

My favorite eye shadow pallette changes all the time, but I always find myself coming back to my UD Naked Basics pallette…
PS. I have been to Kansas! Lived in Kansas City for a few years when growing up.

My favorite is the Lorac PRO palette! It’s not the flashiest or most expensive palette I own, but it’s an excellent collection of wearable, high-quality basics, and I reach for it almost every morning.

Tabs is enormous *o*
The best meal I’ve had this week was tonight’s -it’s 11pm where i live-: my roommate and I were too tired to cook something, so we ate ice cream and chips. A lot of chips. Really, best meal ever.

I admired the makeup and special FX on the movie ‘Cloud Atlas’. The makeup artists truly captured the look of each decade interspersed throughout the film. Hallie looked like this otherworldly, believable, pseudo-friendly alien with flush prosthetic work and beautiful costuming. I particularly admired the work of the fembots working in future Seoul, SK.

Amazingly enough, my favorite movie makeup is anything with zombies! I’m kinda picky with zombie makeup, sometimes I hate it & other times it looks sooo good I’m too impressed haha!! 😀 I’ve read all the Walking Dead comics & the makeup on the show is ALWAYS on point!!!

This is really random, but every time I watch “Anchorman” with Will Ferrell and Christina Applegate, I catch myself saying “holy cow she looks gorgeous” regarding Christina’s makeup. She has the most gorgeous glow, combined with really bright eyes and a great red lip.

“Invent a word to describe the way you feel right now.”
Kerplooblahbaloney. I know it’s a beautiful Bay Area Saturday, but I feel terrible. I didn’t land a coveted (post-grad) job and received an (accidental) parking violation ticket the same day earlier this week. Ugh, I feel like boozing and TV binging – it’s that kind of day.

Looking pretty b.a. there Tabs! I can’t narrow down my favorite keepsake to one or even five. I have a memory box that is chock full of random trinkets like old movie stubs, broken pieces of jewelery, old birthday cards and the like.

Thanks for the great giveaway! I like vintage movie makeup looks like Rita Hayworth or Veronica Lake. I’m still looking for the quintessential eyeshadow palette. Sushi would be the best meal I ate this week. My most precious keepsake would be my grandmother’s depression era engagement ring. Never been to Kansas, except during my annual Wizard of Oz movie watching night!

Hi Karen. My most precious keepsake is my gold locket. My husband bought it for me before our daughter was born. When she was 18 months old, she had the most adorable picture taken, so I put that photo in the locket. My daughter is 20 years old now, and I still wear the locket!! Thanks for another giveaway!!

Hi Karen! I l grew up in Kansas and lived there for about 12 years before moving to Houston. I really liked it there and the people there are friendly. But they didn’t have a Sephora in the city that I lived in. 🙁 I lived in Wichita. I found out they opened up one after I had moved away.

Best movie makeup youâ€™ve ever seen? That I can think of right now would be Avatar (the James Cameron one). Alice in Wonderland has awesome makeup too. Same with some of the pre-Christian Bale Batman movies.

Whatâ€™s your favorite eyeshadow palette of all time?

I keep coming back to the Naked Palette but I like all the Urban Decay palettes I have. Right now, have been using Bareminerals The Star Treatment.

i like the original ud naked palette, and the best part probably is that you can make so many different looks from it! the shadows are super and smooth and the palette has the perfect mix of neutrals imho

The best movie makeup I have ever seen is in Burlesque. I love how the makeup can transform Christina Aguilera in different looks. If you haven’t watched it, I bet you wouldn’t think she is the same person compared to her other looks. But despite the varying makeup looks, there’s one thing in common, and that is the vintage-y feel of it. Giving it a look, and you’ll think about the old-fashioned theme of it. Besides all that, I liked the strong contrast of colors but still complemented each other in a way.

My fav movie would be Gone With The Wind and my fav actor would be Jon Hamm. Swoon worthy coz he looks like he could belong equally well in the Golden Era of Hollywood circa 30s-40s …. Lordy lord, I just love love the classics and it comes as to no surprise that if I win this card, then, I am going to splurge it on some vintage beauty finds and some Chanel!! Thank you so much for the giveaway Karen!! :*

I have driven across Kansas many times to visit the in-laws in Kansas City and moving to New York and back from Colorado where I am from. My favorite palette of all time is a Nars nude palette he did back in 1999 I think it was called All About Eve, wish he would make it again! Meg Ryan back in the 90’s will always be my fave rom-com star 🙂

Best movie makeup for me is Black Swan. Nina (Natalie Portman) looked immaculate when she was herself, dark and dangerous when channeling the black swan. The other dancers looked beautiful in their makeup too.

My favorite skin care is Chanel’s Ultra Correction Lift! They recently revamped the system. I can’t wait to see reviews on the new creams. Cause I am not 100% sure sure Correction life system I should purchase. Love your kitty Pics 🙂 🙂 🙂

I do love Sundays since they are the only day I can sleep in with no interference from the alarm or my (very loud) teenager. I get to sip coffee at my own pace, then shower when I feel like it (not ASAP), then get to whatever I’m doing – when I want to get to it. I love managing my own time rather than having it subject to the demands of an employer.

Out of all the eyeshadow I own (pallets included) I’d have to say my very favorite is actually a stick shadow from hard candy, surprisingly enough. It’s called, foiled again metallic shadow stick in the shade ecstasy.

I just love it so so much. It works super well, it’s an absolutely beautiful bronzey/dirty gold color that would probably work on just about anyone. It’s metallic without tons of glitter (which is unusual for hard candy) it wears for a long time with or without primer. It’s just awesome.

Yes! If Tabs could pick me up some Urban Decay eyeshadow primer potion, Benefit benetint lip and cheek stain, an Urban Decay revolutionary lipstick, some sort of lipbrush, and a highligher (not sure of a good brand), that would be awesome! Thanks Tabs! :* <3 🙂

Thanks for all the giveaways! I use the Naked2 palette almost everyday. I really want the LORAC Pro palette though! Maybe once I win that gift card 😉 Also, I just had a cup of coffee with International Delight Vanilla Heat coffee creamer – talk about warming you up on a chilly day!

I have too many palettes to choose a favorite, but I seem to gravitate towards the nude palette. I have Lorac Unzipped, Meet Matt(e) Nude, Stila In the Light and now the Sephora IT pallete in natural. I may have an addiction to brown shadows (and purple).

A girl at the MAC counter once sold me some mineral powder foundation for someone with very dark skin and told me that since my skin is light, it’s great to use as bronzer. I have the feeling this wasn’t great advice and I hear great things about Benefit’s Hoola bronzer to use as contouring, since it has a little bit of a gray tint to it.

No, Toto, I’ve never been to Kansas. Feeling rather Lazilicious right now. It’s a good thing. Favorite palette? There have been so many but right now I’m loving the Lorac Pro Palette. That thing is glorious and the only shadow I’m taking on an upcoming trip. Can’t want for anything more!

Thanks for the chance to win the voucher…if I won it would be my first online order!! Yes I know, I am way behind on the times and missing out on great stuff.. Fingers are crossed 🙂 . I cooked a beautiful vegetable pasta sauce with various vegys, chilli, baby spinach and some pine nuts, was delicious!

Curse you, e.l.f. and your extremely affordable makeup and my inability to budget. 😛 But, hey, I’m gonna be getting a lot of fun stuff for my money AND free shipping, so it’s not all bad. …’course, if I get a gift card, I won’t actually be spending my hard-earned dollars. Hmm…:-P

– Fave romcom actress and actor: Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan for the winnnnnn!
– I have never been to Kansas but have always wanted to visit since watching Almost Famous
– Sci-fi or fantasy movies always have great makeup in my opinion: Edward Scissorhands, which is also one of my favourites
– Best meal: Pancake breakfast this morning!
– Invented work: malafuntasticiveous
– Eyeshadow palette: I have to say, the victoria’s secret makeup kit is amazing! Subtle shimmery shades for work and fabulously pigmented blues, greens and purples for play 🙂
– precious keepsake: an antique buddha statuette my mom gave me as a grad present last year

Yay! I just realized that you’re a Filipina. Your blog is the most artistic blog I’ve ever visited. Your pictures here are fantabulous. Wait I don’t it count as pictures. I prefer to call them artworks!

My husband’s parents live in Kansas, so we’ve been out to visit. Not somewhere I’d want to live though. I just can’t deal with completely flat land. I need hills or mountains or something with elevation.

My most precious keepsake is a picture frame with a picture of me in kindergarten in the middle, with a picture of my mom in kindergarten on the left and a picture of my father in kindergarten on the right

I’m probably the last person ever to jump on the Naked pallet train but I am in love! it is perfection. Also I tried the Face Form from Sleek. comparable to the Naked Flushed only much less money and it is the best make up product i own!

Hey all! I just had to share that yesterday I had my first cupcake in about 4 years!! I have been sick and have had severe abdominal issues: Celiac Disease, ulcers, Crohn’s etc. I savored a delish gluten free Better Crocker Vanilla cupcake with chocolate frosting and rainbow sprinkles – so exciting and so delicious!

My most prizes possession is a locket that was my grandmothers … It has no real monetary value (it was just a piece of costume jewelry) but she always wore it so it makes me feel like she is still with me

Lmao! I was going to say something about that Breaking Bad episode, but I see the girl who posted before me also did! It really is still on all of our minds! Ugh! I feel emotionally drained still after that!

Dating in your 40’s sucks so bad. I like men my own age and into their 50’s but they have turned into total whores thanks to cialis and Viagra and the highest number of new cases of trichamonas and chlmydia are in this age group! Wish me luck

I finally found an everyday foundation routine that i’m comfortable with *phew! It consists of first putting on the maybelline fit me concealer on my acne scars and then with a big kabuki brush, i PAT on bareminerals original foundation. It leaves my skin looking flawless yet natural and it lasts me a good 9 hours.

My favorite keepsake is a small teddy bear. It was given to me by my grandmother, who I adored but passed away when I was 8 years old (I was devastated!). It’s going to be passed on to my kids someday!
